About
I want to help tell stories.
With 10 years of professional experience, 5 years as Look Dev Lead and 5 years as an Environment and Hard Surface artist, I like to create environments that tell a story.
When I’m not creating set pieces or working on look development, I like to spend my time breaking down cinematographers scenes shot by shot.
